Aligning values, attitudes and actions

Today’s challenges are unprecedented for you, as a senior executive or board director. They go beyond delivering sustainable P&L results and keeping all your stakeholders satisfied. You’re facing significant challenges. Accelerated digitalisation, transition towards sustainability, big market shifts, new regulatory or societal demands, search for purpose. You are among those leaders who are wondering if there are alternative ways to occupy a senior executive or board level:

• How can I get a better sense of purpose for the time I spend?
• How can I better balance my time between strategic thinking, stakeholder management, day-to-day execution and being available for colleagues? Is my time well balanced between time at work, time at home and time for myself?
• How can I inspire executive teams or board directors to leverage collective intelligence when defining a future strategy or in implementing today’s newest ways of working?
• How can I promote empowerment and accountability? Creativity, agility and innovation? Continuous learning, development and resilience?

Considering your people responsibilities, the following is also on the forefront of your priorities:

• You feel you have a particular responsibility towards your colleagues in creating an environment in which they can use their time and talent in a meaningful way.
• You wonder how you can better tap into collective intelligence with your team.s or organisation and make better decisions with increased buy-in.
• You have heard about this leader-coach idea, and you wonder how to inject coaching-like techniques in your leadership practices.
• Those recent leadership and management concepts are teasing your curiosity: psychological safety, self-management, integrative decision-making, co-development. You want to explore how to integrate them in your organisation.
• You’re intrigued by these assertions that more human-centricity is key for business success in today’s world.

In short, you sense – by intuition, belief or necessity – that betting on more human-centered leadership and management practices is the way forward and you want to explore how to develop them.

Alternatively, you are part of a management team, a project team, a board or wider organisation, and – in the very spirit of empowerment – you want to propose an initiative to move towards a more human-centered culture.
